100 Years of Oysters

One century ago today, on January 24, 1913 Jack's Oyster House opened up on Beaver Street in downtown Albany. More info on this great achievement here in The Record. Yet another centennial anniversary in the Capital Region as we also saw Manory's in Troy this month.

Too many restaurant reviewers come with a big side dish of personal ego. Average Joe believes that satisfying his palate doesn't have to come with pretension. Going out and having a good meal in a friendly place is a great time that Joe looks forward too. Fine dining? Only if Joe can dress like he does for work. Keep the wine list and the glass too for that matter, Miller Lite in the bottle is most likely Joe's preference. The food at your restaurant should as good or better than what Joe's mom cooked for him, and certainly better than what Joe can whip up or grill himself. The prices should be fair, and Joe agrees that quality is better than quantity, but tasty and plentiful is a good thing too...
